In a large skillet
heat 3 tbls of butter. Once the butter is very hot and it starts to turn brown
put your steak in. Allow the steak to cook undisturbed on the first side for 3
minutes, but continuously spoon butter the hot butter on top of the steak.
(butter bath)

After 3 min you should have a nice crust on
the bottom. Flip the steak and repeat the butter bath for 3 more minutes.

The yogurt is really good with this because of
all the spice on the steak. 1 cucumber- peel it and remove the seeds, then dice
small. 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp white pepper 1/2
cup of yogurt and salt to taste. Just mix everything together.

Mushrooms and shallots
- slice mushrooms and shallots. I used 2 tbls of the left over butter from the
steak and 1 tbls of new butter, once the butter got hot I added 1 tsp fresh
chopped rosemary & fresh thyme. I sautéed in the hot butter and added a
little salt and pepper. At the very end I added a few sprigs of fresh Marjoram
herb.

Kaylei and I had a blast making these fruit kabobs. Things for a little messy, but that is all part of the fun. Things got extra exciting when our neighbor brought over a fruit shape cutter. These kabobs are the perfect treat for a hot summer day. Our plan is to freeze some and take them to the pool with us on Saturday.

What goes well with fruit kabobs you ask...Dips! Check out the 4 recipes below.

Dear Kaylei Joi,

It is and always will be a pleasure to watch you grow and develop your passions. My heart was touched when you asked me to save my recipes for you. It brought back memories of my Great Grandmother "Big Momma" recipes and how I wish we would wrote them down. You will still have the recipe box that I have been keeping, but this website is dedicated to you baby girl. Remember to always be nice to your brother, even if he isn't nice to you. I love you more than words can say, and I can't wait to see you cook hun.​
